हेमतालध्वजं भीष्मं राजते स्यन्दने स्थितम् । श्वेताभ्र इव तीक्ष्णांशुं ददृशुः कुरुपाण्डवाः॥६-१६-४१॥
Bhīṣma, bearing a banner marked with a golden palm-tree, shone as he stood upon his chariot; the Kuru-Pāṇḍavas beheld him like the sun amid white clouds.
english translation
दृष्ट्वा चमूमुखे भीष्मं समकम्पन्त पाण्डवाः । सृञ्जयाश्च महेष्वासा धृष्टद्युम्नपुरोगमाः॥६-१६-४२॥
Seeing Bhīṣma at the head of the host, the Pāṇḍavas were shaken; and so too the Sṛñjayas—mighty bowmen—led by Dhṛṣṭadyumna.
english translation
जृम्भमाणं महासिंहं दृष्ट्वा क्षुद्रमृगा यथा । धृष्टद्युम्नमुखाः सर्वे समुद्विविजिरे मुहुः॥६-१६-४३॥
Like small animals on seeing a great lion stretching itself, all those led by Dhṛṣṭadyumna repeatedly recoiled in apprehension.
english translation
एकादशैताः श्रीजुष्टा वाहिन्यस्तव भारत । पाण्डवानां तथा सप्त महापुरुषपालिताः॥६-१६-४४॥
These are your eleven fortunate divisions, O Bhārata; and the Pāṇḍavas have seven, maintained and commanded by great persons.
english translation
उन्मत्तमकरावर्तौ महाग्राहसमाकुलौ । युगान्ते समुपेतौ द्वौ दृश्येते सागराविव॥६-१६-४५॥
Both appeared like two oceans converging at the end of an age—whirling with frenzied makaras and crowded with great sea-creatures.
